EnRoute Features
The first-class vectorization engine allows users to turn images or artwork into clean lines and contours, simplifying the process of converting graphic concepts into machinable data. This ensures high-quality input for toolpathing.
The unique texturing capabilities include 3D and texture design tools such as parametric textures and a rapid texture tool. These tools enable the creation of highly detailed and unique surface reliefs for signage and woodworking applications.
EnRoute features material-saving nesting algorithms, notably true shape nesting and advanced nesting algorithms. This feature automatically optimizes the arrangement of parts on the material sheet to minimize waste and reduce production costs.
The software provides automatic toolpathing (ATP), which includes advanced toolpath and output capabilities. This streamlines the manufacturing process by automatically calculating tool movements for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D routing and engraving. These EnRoute features simplify the workflow from design to output.
The comprehensive 3D design and routing tools include capabilities for 3D routing and engraving and 3D mesh creation. This allows the software to handle complex 3D surfacing and model creation, necessary for architectural millwork and dimensional signage.
